Retrospective study of aldosterone and progesterone secreting adrenal tumors in 10 cats.

Background: Primary hyperaldosteronism caused by adrenal neoplasia has been well described in cats. Multiple corticosteroid abnormalities occur in a subset of affected cats, but characterizations of this syndrome are limited to several case reports.

Objectives: To describe a series of cats with adrenal tumors secreting aldosterone and additional corticosteroids.

Proliferative, necrotizing and crescentic immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis in a cat.

Case Summary: A 5-year-old cat was examined for vomiting and anorexia of 2 days' duration. Azotemia, hyperphosphatemia and hypoalbuminemia were the main biochemical findings. Serial analyses of the urine revealed isosthenuria, proteinuria and eventual glucosuria.
